Issara seemed like a very nice lady and a great cook. She did set up custom tours, help me get some very nice pictures, and help me get a motorcycle taxi a couple of times. She also provided me with bottled water at no additional charge, though the room did not have a refrigerator to keep it cold.
There was unfortunately a lot of disappointment, and this is the only AirBNB to date that I have ever checked out of early to pursue lodging at non-AirBNB facilities. I went to a hotel in downtown Bangkok for the last couple nights of my stay, and I was much more comfortable there.
All of the pre-booking prices that she provided changed after booking, the “all inclusive” tours that she had offered me were not all inclusive, and the room was not as I had expected from the AirBNB listing. I was still expected to pay for food, parking, and admission tickets on the tours.
I do not see a picture for the little room that I stayed in within the AirBNB listing. I was informed during check-in that she did have other rooms that I could upgrade to for an additional amount. Breakfast and toiletries were also available for additional expense. The breakfasts were worth it in my opinion, but the AirBNB listing should really be revised to reflect that these amenities will cost more and that the room pictured may not be the room received. I also never saw any hot tub or kitchen intended for my use, but I also never asked. I’m also assuming that the “doorman” was the friendly dog that greeted me every morning, but that is just a guess.
